Sometimes I think I need to leave the cyber world. I seriously start to much controversy with my opinions I guess. If you are a friend on my Facebook account, you have no doubt seen that I have been stirring the pot. Sometimes I don't think its very Christlike of me. Its probably something that I should learn to control.
But its such a fine line. When you believe there are injustices in the world and you feel the desire to try to fix it, then what? I still don't have an answer. I guess I just need to ask Heavenly Father to help me know when to stir the pot and when to not. You know, pick your battles? And seriously, I have never been that good about that concept...
I will figure it out...but I do believe that sometimes you have to realize you will make others upset in the process of fighting for what's right. Hopefully I still have some friends out there that can look past things they don't agree with, and see me as a person and a Daughter of God. That's the best perspective any and all of us can have.
So, I will try to practice what I'm preaching in this post, and pick my battles...

I rarely get on FB, but I did today and I did see some of your little adventure. I thought you handled in well. It is hard to see what seems like unfairness in the system. I think what happens often is that while there are people who abuse the system, there are also those who completely benefit from them, but there is no way to pull up the wheat without the tares, so you have to allow for systems to be misused at times, but the system has to draw a line somewhere. At the end of the day, it makes me glad that I won't have to be the judge of all, you know? So wonderful that the Savior will understand the thoughts and intents of those who took what they didn't need, or didn't use what they had or whatever and judge them fairly. That's what helps me get by [we were recently dropped by a certain program... right as Janie's wheelchair was in the works, so I can understand the feelings of frustration!]
Much love, little pot stirrer. Some people might not have understood that part of where you were coming from was an emotional place. And we've all been there, we just don't always remember or recognize when others are there before we feel personally jabbed at or the need to stick up for ourselves. It definitely comes with experience.
